I hope that isn't a copyright infringement!
The Complex-Rock Tour LIve by the Blue Man Group is an admirable attempt at bringing their terrific live experience to the VERY small screen. These incredibly talented people show why they fill up venues all over the USA.
I noticed that some of the story seems to be absent. I have been to only one Blue Man Group concert, and there was a very definite tale being told with musical interludes. Those story line fill parts seem to be missing on the DVD, which makes it a little more like JUST a concert, rather then the artful, multi-media experience of the live show.
Also the rock concert habit of focusing on a single musician really detracts from the show. Arguably one of their best and most well received songs is "I Feel Love" and we barely get to see the high speed percussion "switch off" that is occuring with the Blue Men, since the camera is focused mostly on the singer.
Still as an intro or a reminder of a Blue Man show it is an impressive effort, I would just like to see some more of their ingenuity applied to the DVD.
Movie Review: Non-stop action

Summary: 2 Stars
It was easy to admire the comic and auditory genius of this group in their "Tubes" review. But if you're expecting more of the whimsical, connected kind of humor you got from the Andrew Wyeth painting sketch (Remember? the one with the Twinkies?), you can forget it. The "Rock Star" program is very light on blue men and extremely long on group. The blue guys showed up this time just to front an overly loud band in a long program of sound-alike car crash impressions. And they abdicate nearly a third of the show to clever but pointless video animations that seem to go on forever.
There are a couple of redeeming moments. The blue heads in the TV monitors for the bit about escaping Planet Earth is classic Blue Man. But save yourself some money and a lot of ear pain by searching for it online and watching it on your computer. When you've seen that... you've seen all that is reminiscent of the charm and subtle humor of "Tubes."
Whatever you do... don't cough up the sixty bucks to see this thing LIVE.
